How To Delete a Posted Voucher
Previous Topic  Next Topic 


  1. Vouchers, which are posted, have become payables.  Payables cannot be deleted by a menu option as Unposted vouchers.  They must be washed out using a negative voucher and then it must be applied to a manual check.


  1. Determine the amount of the payable to delete.  Go into 7.1.1 and create another voucher identical to the original voucher except that the amount will be a negative number (Example: -200.00).


  1. Save the voucher, print a proof report to be sure it is correct (7.1.2) and then post the voucher (7.1.3).


  1. Go into 7.5.1.2, and enter the VENDOR.


  1. Give the manual check a fake number, such as 1-FIXME.


  1. Do not put any amount in for the check, just ENTER through the check amounts and leave them as zero dollars.


  1. You should see both payables here, one positive and one negative.  Apply the zero dollar manual check against the positive and negative vouchers alone.  (A=apply when on the line of the payable.)


  1. Make sure that when you hit “A” to apply the check to the payable, you ENTER all the way through the line leaving all the amounts like they are until it ENTERS through and ends up on the next payable underneath.  You must ENTER through them or it will not work.


  1. Do the same for the second payable; Apply and ENTER through until you come to the end.  ENTER through until you are either at the next line, or all the way at the bottom.  If you end up at ENTER SELECTION at the bottom of the screen that is fine.  That is where you want to be.  If there are more payables, and you are at another line under the last one you just applied, then hit backslash and ENTER to get to the bottom of the screen. (\ = Back slash).


  1. Now save the manual check by doing an “S” and ENTER.


  1. Then go into 7.5.1.3 and print the check register.  You should see your manual check and payables applied.


  1. Post the manual check in 7.5.1.4 and you are done.
